MONTREAL, Quebec, Mar 30, 2001 (LSN.ca) – Dr. Isabel Rodrigues, a professor of family medicine at the University of Montreal lead a research team which found that abortifacient “morning-after” pills work even 5 days after sexual intercourse. The team found that the drugs were 90% “effective” if taken within three days of intercourse but still 87% “effective” after 3-5 days.
